Burnside Biscuits

The Right Fluff

Flaky Biscuits and Cocktails in Astoria

In the world of delicious, crumbly, buttery, bread-like things that are typically, but not always, eaten at
breakfast and topped with other delicious things, biscuits easily nab a top-five slot.

Maybe even a top-three.

And so it’s our duty to bring you tidings of Burnside Biscuits, your garden-variety biscuit and
barrel-aged-cocktail Southern spot, now open in Astoria.

The background here involves folks from Bareburger, Il Buco Alimentari and Jean-Georges getting into the
biscuit game and naming their biscuit-serving spot after the greatest Civil War general in the history of
facial hair.

Additional foreground: in terms of biscuit establishments, you’ve got to admire the drink lineup, which
includes a Ramos gin fizz, 14 New York–brewed beers and three-month-barrel-aged Negronis and Manhattans.
4am weekend closing times and DJs will eventually make their way here, too.
